In have an Oracle (10i) PL/SQL Row-Level trigger which is responsible for three independent tasks. As the trigger is relatively cluttered that way, I want to export these three tasks into three stored procedures.
I was thinking of using a my_table%ROWTYPE parameter or maybe a collection type for the procedures, but my main concern is how to fill these parameters.
Is there a way to put the whole :NEW row of a trigger into a single variable easily?
So far the only way I could find out was assigning each field separately to the variable which is not quite satisfying, looking at code maintenance etc.
Something like
SELECT :NEW.* INTO <variable> FROM dual;
would be preferred. (I haven't tried that actually but I suppose it wouldn't work)
